是否有任何证据表明电子保健-利用信息技术来管理病人护理-能够对发展中国家产生积极影响？我们对发展中国家电子卫生实施情况的评估进行了系统审查，发现改善机构之间沟通、协助订购和管理药物以及帮助监测和发现可能放弃护理的患者的系统显示出希望。对个人数字助理和移动的设备的评估令人信服地表明，这些设备可以非常有效地改善数据收集时间和质量。捐助者和供资者应要求并赞助外部评价，以确保今后的电子保健投资目标明确。
Is there any evidence that e-health-using information technology to manage patient care-can have a positive impact in developing countries? Our systematic review of evaluations of e-health implementations in developing countries found that systems that improve communication between institutions, assist in ordering and managing medications, and help monitor and detect patients who might abandon care show promise. Evaluations of personal digital assistants and mobile devices convincingly demonstrate that such devices can be very effective in improving data collection time and quality. Donors and funders should require and sponsor outside evaluations to ensure that future e-health investments are well-targeted.
